LAB MEDICINE IDEAS

Hey Histonetters -
It suddenly got VERY QUIET out there after I asked
for suggestions for articles related to histotechnology
for ASCP "Laboratory Medicine."
I had 5 responses:
- 2 people offer to write any article in their
field, if we wanted on (I'm passing these people's
names and specialty onto ASCP).
- 1 person suggest a topic, that I'll take with
me to the ASCP Lab Medicine Editorial meeting.
- 2 people mention that they tend to read many of
the articles, even those unrelated to histotechnology,
just so they could keep themselves aware of what
if going on in all areas of the labs (GOOD FOR THEM!)
Other than that - NOTHING!!!
Please, I need/want/desire/crave ideas and suggestions
for articles. Please, PLEASE send them to me before
this Thursday, as I will be leaving for the meeting
on Friday.
If the silence is due to Histonetters thinking I might
become mad at someone for "cutting down" Lab Medicine,
don't be. I've heard the complaints before, which is why
I'm trying to do something about it. If you don't
know me, be assured, I won't take it personally.
This is a challenge to me - to get more histology
related articles in Lab Medicine. And I LOVE
challenges. And I'm willing to be YOUR representative,
and take YOUR ideas/suggestions/needs to the meeting.
So . . . you have 4 days in which to inundate me with
suggestions for articles. Please send them directly to
my home email, as this relates to something I'm doing,
rather than to all of the Histonetters.
